The theme for NWC 45 is “Between Two Worlds,” and what better theme for a portal fantasy author?
My schedule for Norwescon 45 is a beast, with panels and demos each day, and all day on Friday and Saturday. Subjects will run the gamut from Norse swordsmanship to tactical nuclear weapons.
I’m scheduled for autograph signing on Saturday morning at 10 AM. Copies of my books will be available through the University Bookstore kiosk.
There is still a masking requirement–and rightfully so, say I; COVID or no, con crud sucks–so look for the guy in a sport jacket with a two-handed sword across his back. I’m told I’m hard to miss.
Schedule follows. Hope to see you there!
